SHAVING SET.

Application filed August 20, 1925. Serial No. 51,401.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnrrr lilcllwv, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hamilton, State of lillaryland, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in a Shaving Set, of which the following is aspecification. j

This invention relates to an improved article of manufacture which maybe generally referred to as a shaving set, the same comprising acontainer for shaving cream, a plunger'whereby the cream may be ejected,a brush for receiving the cream, and special compartments for holdingthe razor and razor blades.

More specifically, the invention relates to a device comprising acylindrical body, this being made into three sections, one section ofwhich constitutes a top for the brush, the intermediate section of whichforms a container for shaving cream, and the top section of which formsa special article holder.

The article holder is characterized by a central tubular barrel foraccommodating the operating stem of the plunger, and the intermediatesection is constructed to accommodate a slide valve for controlling thepassage of cream into the bristles of the brush.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent fromthe following drawing and description.

In the drawing forming a part of this application and in which likenumerals are employed to designate like parts through the same V Figure1 is a central longitudinal section through a shaving set as constructedin accordance with the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a cross section approximately upon the plane of the line 22 ofFig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the slide valve, and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the head of the plunger.

As before intimated, the improved device embodies a central section 1, abottom section 2, and a top section 3, the top and bottom sections beingclosed at their outer ends and adapted for telescoping detachableconnection with the opposite ends of the central section. A

Fitted in the top of the central. section is a closure 4i having aprojecting flange 5 onto wh ch the section 3 is removably fitted.

Fastened to the bottom of the central seca container forthis cream.

In order to eject the cream I provide a plunger comprising disk 9 and ascrew threaded stem 10 having swivel connection with the center thereof.The stem is threaded through a spider 11 carried by the cover t. Thenthere is knurled linger-piece 12 on top of the stem which serves forrotating the same. Interposed between the plunger disk and disk 6 is aslide valve 13 having openings which are adapted to aline with theopenings in the brush head when the valve is slid to operative position.The valve is provided with a finger piece 1 1 to permit it to beconveniently operated.

Referring more particularly to the top section, it will be seen thatthis is provided With a central tubular guide 15 from which webs 16radiate, these webs dividing the section into a plurality of specialcompartments, one of which contains a razor blade handle 17, another oneof which contains the blades 18, and the other one of which contains theremovable head 19-of the razor. In order to add to the utility, a mirror20 is carried by the top of the section 3.

From the foregoing description it is obvious that in order. to get theparts of the razor out of the special container at the top, it isnecessary to invert the device from the position shown in Fig. 1, atwhich time the part 3 may be pulled off. It is then replaced to functionas a part of the handle of the brush to be subsequently used. Before thesection 3 is thus replaced, it is necessary to actuate the plunger whichis then accessible by turning the knob 12. This ejects a small portionof the paste from the container and passes it through the head of thebrush to the bristles.

The operator must be sure that the slide valve is opened when theplunger is actuated and then closed to prevent the further escape ofpaste. Now the dust cap 2 can be removed and the bristles of the brushmoistened to produce the desired lather.

A careful consideration of the description in connection with thedrawings will suiticiently, no doubt, enable persons familiar witharticles of this design to obtain a clear understanding of the same.Therefore a more lengthy description is thought unnecessary.

\Vhile the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown anddescribed, it is to be understood that minor changes coming within thefield of invention may be resorted to if desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. In astructure of the class described, a cylindrical body comprising a pairof separable sections, one of which is formulated to provide a specialarticle holder,

and the other one 0t which is adapted to serve as a paste container, aplunger operable in said last named section, said plunger embodying astem adapted for projection into the first named section.

2. In a structure of the class described, a cylindrical body comprisinga central section, and a pair oil end sections, said end sections beingconnected dctachably with the ends of the central section, one end ofsaid sect-ion being formulated to provide a container for specialarticles, the other end section being adapted to function as a cover fora brush, a brush carried by the central section, a plunger operable insaid central section, said brush embodying a head provided withopenings, and a slide valve carried by said section and cooperable withsaid opening.

In testimony whereof I atiix my signature.

JOSEPH MoEVOY.
